Poet | Cultural Curator | Management Consultant | Educator | Activist
I am a visionary leader committed to seeing greater opportunity and access for all children, particularly students of color from low-income communities. After graduating from Cornell University as a first-generation, Latinx student from NYC public schools, I jumped into a 7th Grade English classroom in Miami and worked for three years toward amazing academic progress for my students. Afterward, I expanded my impact by working on Teach For America's Campus Recruitment Team, leading campaigns to inspire and enlist promising future leaders at over 40 colleges and universities in the northeast. I then localized my impact by working for a high-performing charter network in Brooklyn for two years. Now, I recruit for OneGoal, a national nonprofit looking to close the degree divide in our nation. In my free time, I love to read and write, and hope to one day publish. I also love expanding my personal/professional network, and am happy to provide career advice/mentorship/guidance to those seeking.
